    I didn’t understand one word of that.

    But never mind, it’s not your fault.🙂
    Apophthegm -  a big word for a small thought.
    If you live in Derbyshire, as I do.

    It's called a daffodil, though. That's nice.
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    Oooh sorry! Well ....  the bit of your computer that talks to the box with the flashing lights on the end of your telephone line (Wi-Fi) can be replaced with this wee gadget.
    Clay soil - Cheshire/Derbyshire border - where old gardeners often wet their plants.

    I love my garlic peeler tube.  Just a rubber / silicone tube that you put the garlic into and roll it but it does a great job.

    I hate handling garlic @KT53, so that might be of use to me. Cheers.  :)
    I'm not a great fan of 'gadgets' as such, but I suppose it depends on the definition. There's lots of things I wouldn't consider to be gadgets. Hairdryers for example. 
    If I had to pick something I like - it would be the battery drill/driver. I couldn't manage without that for all sorts of jobs. 
    If I had to pick something I find useless, it would be the Garmin I bought for walking. I hate it  :D
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Agree about the Drill/Driver. Just had to replace my old Bosch one as the motor was so weak after probably 20 years of use that it was unable to screw in a small screw. Sad really, it was a very good tool.

    I much prefer proper maps for walking and also actually for driving.  I do use satnav but could then almost guarantee I wouldn't be able to get to the place next time without using satnav again.  Once I've got a route in my head from a map, I rarely need the map on subsequent trips.

    I've never met a gadget that worked for me unless my spice grinder is a gadget.
    How are we defining gadget? (Apologies to pendants for gerund)
    Maybe I actually have one. Is a toasted sandwich maker a gadget. I have one. A stick blender.. I have one.
    I thought gadgets were things you bought in pound shops, Lakeland  or Ikea marketplace.
